Your signal. Your price.
Cake Wallet 6.4.4 added native Trezor support for cold storage, while Nunchuk added BitBox02 Bluetooth connectivity. Additionally, RoboSats Alpha 0.87 added three new coordinators and encrypted image uploads through Noster Blossom servers.
Vik Sharma launched Radar, a modified Signal client fork featuring built-in Bitcoin Lightning payments. The app utilizes Signal's servers, and the Cake Wallet team makes monthly donations to Signal to support server usage.
Cake Wallet has surpassed millions of users and averages thousands of new daily downloads. The platform sustains profitability through in-app token swaps, fiat on-and-off ramps, and its Cake Pay feature.
Cake Wallet supports legacy Zcash Z addresses alongside modern unified addresses to ensure compatibility with third-party exchanges that have delayed protocol upgrades. It remains the only Zcash shielded Ironwood wallet with seed phrase passphrase support.
Seth uses AI agents to conduct overnight pull request reviews and scan upstream software dependencies. This pipeline recently identified a medium severity security vulnerability in an upstream library used by Cake Wallet.
Seth and the Cake Wallet team purchased Nvidia DGX Spark hardware to run local, private AI models. Q and Mark note that local deployments are becoming viable alternatives to centralized AI APIs for privacy-conscious developers.
Cake Wallet's leadership team launched Radar, a consumer communication and payment app built on the Signal protocol. Backed by Ego Death Capital, the app integrates self-custodial Bitcoin payments directly into private chat interfaces.
Regulatory delistings have pushed Monero trading from centralized venues to cross-chain swap protocols and decentralized exchanges. Cake Wallet reports that Monero swaps account for over 75 percent of its transaction volume.
Cake Wallet has expanded its user base to over two million total users, including more than half a million active Lightning network participants.
Seth argues that commercial AI subscriptions are heavily subsidized loss leaders with increasingly restricted usage caps. Cake Wallet avoided these limits by investing roughly $20,000 in local hardware, which completed security scans that would have cost $3,000 on APIs.
Cake Wallet runs highly redundant local security scans to catch vulnerabilities before code is pushed to production. The local AI cluster automatically scans open pull requests three times with zero shared context, performs weekly whole-repo scans, and verifies tagged release branches.
Seth states that centralized swap services are increasingly freezing post-mix Wasabi and Samourai Wallet funds due to compliance pressure from upstream exchanges. In contrast, Cake Wallet offers refunds if user funds get flagged during a swap.
Seth announces that Cake Wallet has integrated native support for the Trezor Safe 7 hardware wallet. This update allows users to manage their Monero holdings securely via Bluetooth on iOS and Android devices.
Seth suggests shipping hardware wallets to commercial pickup points like FedEx locations to protect home addresses. For high risk jurisdictions, Seth recommends using software fallbacks like Samurai Sentinel or Cake Wallet's Cupcake on old phones.

Vic Sharma targets capturing 10% of Signal's user base for Radar as a measure of success, noting Cake Wallet has 2 million users but serves a narrower crypto-only audience.
Radar's wallet seed phrase is Spark-compatible and can be imported into other wallets like Cake Wallet, Phoenix, and Blink. Users can also backup keys encrypted with their Signal account, allowing recovery via Signal login.
Radar's initial revenue model will focus on fees from fiat on/off ramps and stablecoin services, similar to Cake Wallet, rather than merging full wallet features to avoid bloating the chat app.
Unilateral exit from Spark is currently possible via CLI tools but not yet integrated into Radar or Cake Wallet SDKs. Seth argues Spark operators share necessary leaf data, and the feature is a fee-prohibitive emergency exit.
Cake Wallet has over 500,000 users who created custom Lightning usernames and nearly 2 million downloads, providing the team experience they applied to Radar's Lightning integration.
Cake Wallet team forks Signal to create Radar.chat, a private messaging app with self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning wallet.
PayJoin adoption is low but growing, with Bull Bitcoin, Cake Wallet, Sparrow, and Wasabi working on compatible versions; Pouliot sees it as key to breaking chain analysis's common input ownership heuristic.
